[con'd] Diegueño, Juaneño, Tungva, Chumash, etc. I, myself, am a Chicano, of mostly of Mexicatl & Yaqui blood. My grandmother's family were full-blooded Yaquis who entered the U. S. in 1906, to escape the genocide, &, thereby became legally "white", because they came from "Latin America". Millions of Mexica have become "de-Indianized" by stepping across the border."

[con'd]"Latinos" & "Hispanics" tell the truth about our Native American racial heritage. The average ethnic Mexican is about 70 to 80% of the blood indigenous to Mexico & the Southwest U.S. The name Mexican is derived from our actual name--Mexica, commonly mis-called "Aztecs". I know many ethnic Mexicans, like me, who truthfully reported our race as "Native American." Our ancestry includes such tribes as Navajo, Apache Comanche, Ute, Pima, Pápago, Yaqui, Mojave, the Pueblos tribes, [TBC]

Did you mean to say that 86.3% of all Navajo are full-bloods? I understand that these U.S. gov't figures do not take into account the mixing that Navajo, & other tribes, did before that gov't took control over them. In other words, they just ignore all of the great amount of mixing with ethnic Mexicans & other people, who lived in the Southwest, under the Spanish & Mexican gov'ts. Also, you don't mention that, in 2010--for the 1st time ever--the U.S. let indigenous people, mis-known as [TBC]
